Help Us Find Homes for Saffron, Layla, and Cedric!

By Amy King

We need your help to find Saffron, Layla, and Cedric their forever homes! Our Humane Officers brought these sweet cats to the HSVC as part of a hoarding case in mid-April. After examination by our vet, the three felines were diagnosed with Calicivirus, a common upper respiratory virus that often affects cats and kittens in shelters. While not fatal or contagious to humans or other animals, we are recommending that these cuties go to homes where they are the only cat in the household. Their adoption fee is only $60! Help us get Cedric, Layla, and Saffron out of the shelter and into the loving forever homes they deserve!
